difficulty of interfering with judicial sentences, it is evident that had Compson not been found insane he would have had to receive a very heavy punishment - which would have kept him in servitude and at hard labor for a number of years.

Should His Grace The Duke of Newcastle comply with the application, Compson will be forwarded to England.

I have, &c.,
